The WestEdge Design Fair returns to Santa Monica October 29–31, 2026, bringing an international mix of furniture makers, product designers, and established luxury brands to the Barker Hangar. Now in its 11th edition, the annual event offers homeowners, architects, and interior designers an opportunity to discover new collections, explore innovative materials, and meet the creative minds behind some of today’s most distinctive residential furnishings.
This year’s exhibitors reflect a growing appreciation for craftsmanship, customization, and furniture that makes a statement without sacrificing comfort. From colorful outdoor seating and sculptural lounge chairs to handcrafted ceramic fixtures and bespoke furnishings, the fair offers a look at the products influencing contemporary interiors and outdoor environments.
Among the brands worth exploring are five companies bringing distinctive approaches to luxury residential design.
Tidelli Brings Color and Craftsmanship Outdoors
Known for its expressive use of color, intricate weaving, and relaxed approach to outdoor living, Tidelli Outdoor Living combines contemporary design with traditional Brazilian craftsmanship. The company’s collections span lounge chairs, sofas, dining furniture, daybeds, swings, and accessories, offering a versatile range of furnishings for terraces, gardens, and poolside retreats.
A defining feature of Tidelli’s work is its signature handwoven nautical rope, which introduces texture, pattern, and color to furniture designed for outdoor environments. The material allows the brand to create distinctive silhouettes while maintaining the durability required for residential and hospitality settings.
With an emphasis on customization and artisanal production, Tidelli offers an alternative to more restrained outdoor furniture collections. Its designs demonstrate how carefully selected colors, woven textures, and comfortable proportions can bring personality to sophisticated outdoor spaces.
Fireclay Tile Introduces a New Expression of Bathroom Design
Best known for its handcrafted ceramic tile, Fireclay Tile is expanding its design vocabulary with Fireclay Bath, a collection of faucets, showers, and bathroom accessories that brings the company’s expertise in ceramics to architectural hardware.
The collection includes four distinctive lines, Foundry, Emerson, Flatiron, and Contour, each offering a different interpretation of contemporary bathroom design. Of particular interest is the Foundry Collection, which pairs solid brass fixtures with handcrafted ceramic handles that can be customized with a selection of glazes.
The combination introduces an unexpected tactile element to bathroom hardware, allowing designers to coordinate fixtures with tile selections or create contrasting material combinations. With its emphasis on handcrafted details, customizable finishes, and enduring materials, Fireclay Bath reflects a broader interest in treating everyday functional elements as integral components of interior design.
Thomas Hayes Studio Celebrates the Art of Custom Furniture
For those drawn to furniture with architectural presence, Thomas Hayes Studio offers a collection defined by sculptural silhouettes, rich hardwoods, and meticulous craftsmanship. Founded by designer Thomas Hayes and led alongside Jonelle Hayes, the studio combines influences from California modernism and Brazilian furniture design with traditional furniture-making techniques.
Its portfolio includes dining tables, lounge chairs, sofas, credenzas, and accent pieces, many distinguished by expressive forms and an emphasis on the natural beauty of materials. The studio works closely with architects, interior designers, and private clients to create customized furnishings suited to individual interiors.
Rather than following short-lived design trends, Thomas Hayes Studio focuses on proportion, material integrity, and pieces intended to remain relevant for generations. Its work illustrates the appeal of furniture that functions as both a practical element of a room and a carefully considered expression of craftsmanship.
FR33FORM Reimagines the Way Furniture Moves
Furniture takes a more playful and experimental direction with FR33FORM, a design company founded by Jules Henry, a former Apple engineer whose work combines engineering, automotive design influences, and an interest in human movement.
The brand’s collection challenges conventional ideas about seating through bold, organic forms that encourage relaxation and interaction. Among its distinctive designs are the Vibe chair, the oversized Volo rocking lounger, and the Koza swing, each offering a different approach to the relationship between furniture, movement, and comfort.
The sculptural forms give FR33FORM’s pieces a strong visual identity, making them particularly interesting for contemporary terraces, gardens, and outdoor living spaces. Beyond their appearance, the designs reflect a philosophy that furniture can influence the way people experience their surroundings, encouraging a more relaxed and interactive approach to everyday living.
Paulo Antunes Blends Sculptural Design with Traditional Craftsmanship
Combining expressive contemporary forms with traditional furniture-making techniques, Paulo Antunes creates luxury furnishings distinguished by bold silhouettes, rich materials, and carefully executed details.
The brand’s collections include seating, tables, cabinetry, and lighting, with designs incorporating leather, wood, marble, and metal. The interplay of materials is central to its aesthetic, introducing visual contrast and texture while maintaining a sense of balance and sophistication.
Customization is another defining element of the Paulo Antunes approach. Working with designers and architects, the company offers bespoke furnishings and turnkey solutions tailored to individual residential projects. The result is a collection that bridges functional design and artistic expression, offering pieces capable of becoming focal points within contemporary interiors.
A Destination for Design Discovery
Together, these exhibitors demonstrate the breadth of contemporary luxury design, from the colorful craftsmanship of outdoor furnishings to the architectural precision of bespoke furniture and bathroom fixtures. While their approaches differ, each reflects an appreciation for materials, individuality, and the relationship between design and everyday living.
For visitors considering a new residence, a renovation, or a refreshed outdoor retreat, WestEdge offers an opportunity to experience these collections firsthand and explore the details that distinguish exceptional design.
